BVt is the Rogue reuiu'd? Is Guzman made
A Spanish-English Rascall by his Trade?
Tis so. And (as our home-bred Spaniards guesse)
Hee's printed liueliest in the English Presse.
Tongues, haue but one Horizon, if they proue
Each others true Interpreters; and moue
Alike to all the world. But if they feare
To ioyne; each Language has his Hemispheare.
And so had Guzman. But this English 〈◊〉〈◊〉,
Makes it appeare to Vs, as well as Spaine.
Thus, like a blazing Starre, each Author is
Stretcht to a streaming length of Languages.
